...mass meeting urging the election of the yard committee, the election itself, remarkable for the paucity of the votes cast, and the resignation of the committee have followed in rapid succession, and the college has now ample opportunity for retrospect. The faculty of late years have shown a spirit of liberal action in their treatment of the students, and the students have responded in a manly spirit. But on Tuesday a severe blow was dealt to progress at Harvard. The undergraduates have been given one more privilege, and this time they have been found wanting. Hereafter the faculty we fear...
...take a glance into the rowing room, but now that an inspection of the crews involves the extra trouble of a walk down to the river, it is only too probable that the number of those who are interested in seeing our oarsmen at work will undergo a rapid diminution. This is hardly just. The oarsmen of the college do hard and faithful work with, perhaps, less encouragement than any other class of athletes in college.

The increase is shown, perhaps, in a more striking way by Parker, estimating the different amounts in cubic inches. The flow of blood through the lungs is much less rapid when one takes little or no exercise; and the carbonic acid will not be removed from the system in so thorough a manner. If a man then is obliged to lead a life which deprives him of the chance of getting a fair amount of physical exercise, he should...
